The Berkshire & Beyond Conscious Collective

Tickets are £22 www.tinyurl.com/justbesound

How would you like some time just for your Self to rest and come back to centre? To receive, rejuvenate and revitalise? To gather with a group of likeminded souls all here for the same reason, to be nourished on whatever level you need, be it physical, emotional, energetic, mental or spiritual.
While Alison plays the gong, crystal bowls and various percussion instruments, Cinthia will provide spiritual healing with optional hands on touch. Together they will create a safe and nurturing environment for you to relax. The evening will end with some time for tea and sharing.
This is for you if you:
Need some ‘me’ time
Are low in energy
Are ready to let go of things that are no longer serving you
Want to make space for something new in your life
At the end of the session you can expect to feel:
Lighter
Refreshed and revitalised
Like you’ve had a good rest
More centred
Deep peace
Using a particular method of playing, Sound Therapy can influence brainwaves and enable us to enter altered states of consciousness (ASC). This can bring benefits such as an improvement in our physical, emotional and mental wellbeing , reduced depression and anxiety and better sleep. Sound Therapy can allow us to release physical, emotional and mental tension, and help us to move back into balance.

Welcome to The Transforming Together 4 Week series - a series inspired by our amazing dance community.
Part 1/4 - 23rd May - Awaken & Remember
Our journey will begin by focusing on our physical presence on this Earth. Dropping out of the mind and into the NOW, this is a chance to discover what happens when we become deeply connected to our physical forms. It’s time to awaken together and remember who we truly are.
What To Expect: Invitations to connect deeply in different and new ways to your body, breath and senses.
As always, everything is an invitation. You are encouraged to dance your own dance in this space, always honouring yourself and your boundaries.
****
Part 2/4 - 30th May - Connect & Heal
Part 3/4 - 6th June - Elevate & Create
Part 4/4 - 13th June - Unite & Expand
Then we'll bring everything together for our Summer Solstice Medicine Dance 21- 22 June!

****
THE JOURNEY
Enter the hall space in sacred silence from 7.20pm and join us in meditation.
At 7.30pm, sitting in circle, you'll be guided through a short centring practice, with an invitation to scan the body, emotions and mind. This practice is an oppportunity to bring more presence to your experience and to connect more deeply with your self and your heart.
As we move into our cacao ceremony, we pass our Guatemalan cacao around the circle with love, before practicing gratitude and setting intentions together.
We’ll begin our movement journey together with a little guidance to warm up.
Movement is conscious, intuitive and spontaneous as you allow the vibrations of the sound to resonate in whichever way feels right for you. The invitation is to disconnect the mind and connect with the body freely, noticing any self-judgement and any fears around judgement from others.
The evening will close with a mini sound bath and a short closing circle with fruit, and some optional time to socialise.
Together we co-create a safe container, offering respect to our fellow dancers and their space, keeping to the guidelines of no chat, no shoes, no drugs, no alcohol.
THE MUSIC
Each dance is a soundwave journey, with the music being intuitively chosen from an eclectic mix of different genres. The experience is less about the type of music and more about how all aspects of your being relates to it. You'll be invited to be curious with your exploration of your body and movements, to bring moment by moment awareness to what's moving through you.

Are you craving a deeper connection to the self? Join me at Soul Barns, a stunning yoga barn, for an afternoon of practices designed to nurture, encourage and explore the meaning of surrender in a group of women.
This is an intimate retreat with only 10 spaces.
Surrender to the space: We'll begin with a Rose cacao ceremony before grounding barefoot on the Earth (weather dependent), surrendering to nature and calling in a deeper connection to our senses.
Surrender the mind/beliefs: Using conscious connecting practices, we'll explore letting go of the mind and it's thoughts, judgements and beliefs.
Surrender to our emotions: With the shamanic drum and shruti, we'll use vocal activations to connect to the sounds of our feelings and express our emotions.
Surrendering to the body: Through barefoot conscious movement/dance we'll explore dropping out of the head and into the energy field of the body.
Surrender attachments: We'll use fire to transform and release attachments
Surrender to relaxation: Connecting with our intuition through a blend of lucid dreaming tea, we'll move into a relaxing sound bath.
There will be time for sharing and journalling to enable integration of each of the practices.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
Please bring a journal/notebook and pen.
Please bring a yoga mat, cushion, blanket, eye pillow and anything else you may need to be comfortable.
You may like to wear layers to adjust clothing for the difefrent elements of the retreat.
VENUE INFORMATION: Soul Barns has a large parking area
COST: £69
